Injunction Against Chinese
Laundries.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 4.-Ine Oupe.
rior Court rendered an interesting deci
sion to-day regarding the maintel ance
of Chinese laundries in this city. The
case was that of q. Bare against s. and
Nathaniel Morris ct al, to recover $1,000
damages, alleged to have been caused by
the defendants tenants, who were Chi
nese laundrymen and who as the
plaintiff claimed caused by their system
of washing, great nuisance to the ueigh'
borhood. The plaintiff asked that
restraining order be issued to prevent
the nuisance from being continued. The
court reserved the decision regarding the
question of damages, but granted the
petition for a restraining order, directing
it to the Chinese tenants alone.
The Interstate Law Obnoxious.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 4.-The Chron'
scle's Washington special says: with
out doubt strong effort will be made
next Congress to either repeal, or at
least modify the Interstate Commerce
law. The very classes who were most
clamorous for its passage are among the
first to make complaint of the harshness
of its provisions. The folly of trying
to make ironclad rules for the govern.
lnent of commerce is already apparent.
The railroads in every direction have
been compelled to make changes in their
carrying out of the statute, which makes
the burden to be born by the people all
the greater, and even for short distances
prices of tickets for carrying passengers
have been advanced twenty-five per
cent.
